2012-08 BILL NO. 2012-8
AMENDMENT TO SECTION APPENDIX 1
OF THE ORDINANCE CODE OF THE
CITY OF RICHFIELD
(LaMettry Collision Planned Unit Development Plan and Rezoning)
THE CITY OF RICHFIELD DOES ORDAIN:
Section 1. Findings of Fact. The City Council hereby makes the following findings
of fact:
A. The City's zoning ordinance establishes zoning classifications for
individual property. The property located at 301 West 77th Street
is zoned MU-C (Mixed Use - Community) [the "subject property"].
B. LaMettry Properties, LLC has submitted an application to the City
for a planned unit development plan [the "PUD plan"] in the subject
area. The PUD plan proposes to construct an Auto
mechanical/body repair shop and 34 parking stalls.
C. The City has reviewed the zoning ordinance and determined that it
would be appropriate to rezone the subject area as PMU (planned
mixed use) and approve the PUD plan to establish the regulations
governing the PMU district.
D. The Planning Commission has conducted a public hearing
concerning the PUD plan and amending the zoning ordinance for
the subject property. The Planning Commission recommended
approval of the PUD plan and zoning ordinance amendment on
June 25, 2012 following a public hearing. The City Council held a
first reading of the rezoning on June 26, 2012 and second reading
and consideration of the PUD plan on July 10, 2012.
E. The City's zoning ordinance provides criteria for approving a PUD
plan and rezoning of property to a planned unit development. The
City Council finds that the PUD plan and rezoning of the subject
property meets the criteria in the following ways:
1) The proposed development conforms with the goals and
objectives of the City's Comprehensive Development Plan
and any applicable redevelopment plans:
a) The City Council approved an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan on July 10, 2012 that
designates the subject property as "Community
Commercial/Office."
b) The Comprehensive Plan describes the
"Community Commercial/Office" area as
accommodating a wide variety of retail and
services that are more intense than
neighborhood-scale business, but that will attract
residents of Richfield and the immediate vicinity
rather than customers from the entire metropolitan
area. An auto body/mechanical repair shop falls
within this category.
c) The 1-494 Corridor is described as an area that
will feature a range of shops, services and
housing in a more dense and walkable "urban
village" land use pattern. The proposed PUD plan
maximizes greenspace, reduces surface parking
and provides an attractive building that is pulled
up to the sidewalk.
2) The proposed development is designed in such a manner as
to form a desirable and unified environment within its own •
boundaries: The stipulations of the approved final
development plan which include the removal of perpendicular
parking off of the shared driveway and compliance with City
driveway and pedestrian crossing requirements will insure
that this requirement is met.
3) The development is in substantial conformity with the
purpose and intent of the original MU-C zoning district, and
departures from the original district regulations are justified by
the design of the development: The development is in
substantial compliance with the intent of the guiding MU-C
District. Deviations are related to the unique characteristics
of the site, particularly the proximity of the railroad and the
inability to move the existing drive/entry. Additional trees
(overstory or evergreen) are required in the landscape area
along the privacy fence to more effectively meet the intent of
buffering and screening requirements and better protect the
interests of the adjacent hotel. Revised lighting that
substantially meets code requirements is also required.
4) The development will not create an excessive burden on
parks, schools, streets, or other public facilities and utilities
which serve or are proposed to serve the development: This
requirement is met.
5) The development will not have undue adverse impacts on
neighboring properties: The proposed building and site are
attractively designed. With the addition of overstory and/or
evergreen trees to screen damaged vehicles from view of
hotel guests, and the removal of parking off of the shared
driveway, the proposed development will not have undue
impacts on neighboring properties.
6) The terms and conditions proposed to maintain the integrity
of the plan are sufficient to protect the public interests: This
requirement is met.
Section 2. Appendix 1 of the zoning ordinance code of the City of Richfield
entitled "Richfield Zoning Code: Boundaries of Zoning Districts" is hereby amended:
A. Section 8, new paragraph 2 is added to read as follows:
(2) M-16 (301 77th Street West) Lot 1, Block 1, Candlewood Hotel
Addition.
B. Section 17, paragraph 15 is repealed.
Section 3. This amendment constitutes a rezoning of the following property:
301 West 77th Street
Section 4. This ordinance is effective in accordance with Section 3.09 of the
Richfield City Charter.
Passed by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota this 10th day of
July, 2012.
